Donald Trump desires a ‘Full Steel’ navy … taking part in a video finally evening’s rally calling out Kamala Harris for wanting a “woke military” — and taking part in clips from Stanley Kubrick‘s “Full Metal Jacket.”
The previous POTUS was in Coachella, California Saturday evening when he began speaking navy … and, he performed a video which is less complicated to observe than clarify.

The video — which Trump has since posted and pinned to the highest of his X account — exhibits a model of America’s navy run by him vs the navy he says “Comrade” Kamala Harris will run.
Then video then jumps forwards and backwards from clips of the film “Full Metal Jacket” to movies of alleged servicemembers in drag in addition to Rachel Levine, a transgender girl who serves within the US Public Well being Service Commissioned Corps in Biden‘s administration.
Whereas not the primary time he is performed it at a rally, Trump is clearly doubling and tripling down on the clip. In his X submit from final evening, he wrote within the caption, “WE WILL NOT HAVE A WOKE MILITARY!”
Principally, DJT’s level appears to be he desires the navy to regain some kind of old fashioned, macho-man disposition … and, there does not appear to be a spot in his model of the navy for homosexual servicemen and girls, a minimum of ones who come out publicly or gown in drag.
The scenes he exhibits from the film present abusive Gunnery Sergeant Hartman — performed by late actor R. Lee Ermey — berating his cadets and getting them prepared for warfare … attempting to toughen them up within the flick.
Price noting — and, spoiler right here — one in every of his cadets, performed by Vincent D’Onofrio, finally ends up murdering Hartman … so, it is not an ideal analogy.
“Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” was repealed again in 2010 underneath the Obama administration … permitting individuals within the navy to return out in the event that they so wished. The navy has additionally added quite a few variety initiatives, particularly since Biden got here into workplace.
Unclear what Donald Trump might attempt to impose on the navy if elected subsequent month … however, we’re guessing it is going to look rather a lot completely different than it does now.
